I am just on the verge of transition and I have been wondering how to go about my transition in my early days before I know 100% I can be out in the public as Emi. For me I am thinking about being isolated for the most part just so that old friends and enemies, that I don't intend to reveal I am transgender, can forget about me enough to the point if I run into them again they won't remember the old me. For example I would probably avoid the arcades to go play Dance Dance Revolution at all costs until I could wear anything I wanted to for the most part without risking being seen by pigheaded idiots that roam around my area and would do terrible things verbally or physically to me.
So overall, how much should I be isolated when beginning transition? Thanks for any input.

If you are going into transition with the full expectancy to eventually have sex reassignment surgery, or at least live full time as the opposite gender for the rest of your life, you'll will probably start your transition with hormone replacement therapy. While some do not wait for the gender-shifting affects of hrt before going full time, you may want to consider doing this. HRT can take a couple of years or more (depending on your age) to have full effect and will certainly buy you the time to not only slowly change your appearance but also allow you to socially adapt to your new status. Sure, avoiding some situations where you were strongly identified with your birth gender would not be a bad thing but this does not mean you have to disappear into obscurity. Transition is an exiting time for regrowth yet a complicated process and not something to rush. Take it slow, change your circle of friends if need be and take the cues from others. You will then know when you are ready to make the jump to full time (and wear anything that you want...). A badly planned transition can lead to depression and anxiety rivaled only by your original dysphoria.

I have a tendency to imagine such issues as... if he could only bypass to left only a hair i could blow...oh God it truly is reliable...if I do this he's gonna... if i'm questioning about the position are my keys, then i want to detect a sparkling playmate. I surely ought to say I surely have in no way fantasized about yet another guy even as i'm with a guy. I do despite the indisputable fact that even as i'm taking area in by ability of myself... i'm a unmarried woman by ability of how. ought to consider the area taking area in comments from the different women human beings... if you aren't any further completely there, don't be there in any respect.

I am going through the same thing. I am intersex and have just started to live as a girl. It can be scary and embarrassing at times. Just go slow and be careful.

go on line and see if you hook up with some people in the trans community on a personal level-not here. You'll get more honest answers.
